I live on 1 acre against a small wooded area in central PA. Very rarely see dead birds. The other day I saw a dead
bird and a very confused bird next to it in my garden, young robins I think. I thought perhaps they were attacked until I read about this phenomenon.

They were flying around each other in close proximity very fast and eventually the black bird must have bumped into the robin with it's beak and the robin dropped dead. I went to pick it up and took it home to show my parents. I've wondered how common that is, haven't seen it since.

The crow flew off with it in its beak and the rest of the crows joined it and tore the mockingbird to pieces. I see now why a group of crows is called "a murder of crows".
